What a delightful bottle. Guess I've griped enough about Toms' devcision to disconue this lovely blend before but it's even more apparent to me after having this bottle. Deep ruby. Loads of brite red ftuits and spicy floral notes on the nose.All come over on the palate along with a touch of fresh loamy earth and butterfinger-cocoa notes. The fine-grained tannins are still there in small amounts that need another 1-3 to resolve. 50/50 cab and merlot. Silky entry, mid-weight center and a 4+-lapper finish A solid 91/93. 30 on futures. 14.5% alc. WW
